Event Report
Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies 2019 jointly organised by CUHK–Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre
for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC) and Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS)
(23–25 May 2019)
Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies 2019, organised by CCK-APC and ICS, was held on 23–25 May 2019 at
The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The forum aims to nurture young scholars in Chinese Studies and strengthen
their academic networks.
With the theme “A Century of Change: Revisiting the Legacy of May Fourth”, this year’s forum had invited a total
of 33 young scholars to present their research papers. The papers were divided into 11 panels and scheduled over a
period of three days. Participants presented their findings in a wide range of topics relating to the May Fourth,
including intellectuals, generation of students, youth movement, Chinese traditions, the New Woman, women’s
movement, the classics and the Chinese society. Professors from various CUHK departments, such as History, Chinese
Language and Literature, Translation, and Cultural and Religious Studies were invited to serve as discussants.
This year’s forum received 144 applications. After a rigorous selection by the Organising Committee, 33 applicants
were invited, which comprised 5 from Hong Kong, 10 from Mainland China, 8 from other Asian countries and
territories including Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, and another 10 from Europe, North America and Australia.
More than half of them came from overseas, reflecting the forum’s effort to enhance international communication
in Chinese studies.
Below are the sharing from two of the participants:

Event Report
Jessica Zu Princeton University
The theme for the 2019 forum is a centennial reflection on the May Fourth
legacy. As a scholar of Buddhist studies and religious studies, I was
initially hesitant about participating in it, even though the primary
materials I analysed reveal many interconnections between the
transformation of Buddhism and the long Chinese revolution 1911–1976.
I am very happy that I had stepped out of my comfort zone of Buddhist
studies into the unfamiliar waters of the history of revolution in modern
China. I not only received candid feedback from my discussants and
from private conversations with new friends during forum-sponsored
lunches and dinners, but also met new colleagues who were toiling for
similar theoretical rethinking of Chinese Buddhism but working with
different primary sources. Both the formal presentations and informal
coffee breaks, lunches, and dinners proved to be fertile grounds for
floating ideas around and sparking new insights.
All this is not accidental. From its inception, the organisers of this forum
had sought to build an interdisciplinary platform for early career scholars
to exchange ideas and establish a broader professional network. Equally important, in this forum, one can personally
experience the renowned CUHK paradigm of review (中大點評範式), which challenges one to try new methods to
answer one’s research questions and to open one’s eyes to new perspectives for refining and strengthening the
arguments. Every project could become better and every argument could become stronger by being critiqued under
this paradigm. By design, this forum is ideal for those seeking development feedback to broaden one’s own scholarly
purview, to identify weaknesses in the project, to sharpen the arguments, and to bring one’s own niche project into
broader academic conversations.

Event Report
Wang Xing Fudan University
As the theme of this year’s forum, “A Century of Change: Revisiting
the Legacy of May Fourth” entails an understanding of the May Fourth
not only as a single and isolated historical event, but a culture that is
continuously influencing and moulding Chinese society. This year’s
papers very much focused on such a kind of continuation of the May
Fourth culture. The pursuit of a modern and independent China via
social as well as intellectual revolutions in the May Fourth did not only
open up new conduits of discourse for the educated elites, but also totally
transformed China on many other levels. In the forum, scholars like
Shao Dong, Qu Nan, Yeung Choi Kit and Huang Shiqi gave their new
insights on how literature, literary theories, and “classical” intellectual
debates can be reinterpreted with new perspectives, especially on how
we should rethink May Fourth intellectuals’ understanding of “traditional
China”. Many other colleagues in the forum, on the other hand, presented
new documents and visual materials about certain fields and spheres of
China in and after May Fourth that had seldom been touched by
academic studies before.
If “revisiting” the May Fourth was a task this forum assigned to its
participants, I think every speaker has completed the task well. We not only “revisited” the classical debates in the
May Fourth with new ideas, but also “problematised” the May Fourth with all kinds of new findings. We have realised
through fervent discussions in each panel that the May Fourth is not a flat image of the past, but a “multi-dimensional”
movement with so many faces which resists any reductionist labels.
It is very difficult to fully summarize the brilliant papers and discussions over our three-day forum in only a few
words. Even in the panel discussions we felt that our time was very limited to fully communicate with each other
over many intriguing topics. I believe that this year’s Young Scholars Forum in Chinese Studies at CUHK will
become an important academic experience for all the participants in their future career.

Retrospective and Prospective of China's Education System, USC
Since the reform and opening-up, China's economy has boomed along with social progress, achievements which have
drawn the world's attention. However, the transformation of the economy and social structure has created all kinds
of conflicts and problems. Since 2013, the Chinese government has repeatedly stressed the will to eradicate poverty,

related policies to promote social development. China's decision-making policy is a collaborative effort among
government, academia, think tanks, and the target group, in which academics and think tanks play an irreplaceable
essential role.
To promote relevant academic exchanges and policy researches, the Universities Service Centre for China Studies
